Chris was an absolute "angel" in our time of sorry. He was so compassionate with our family and showed complete respect for my father at the time of his passing. Covering him in an American flag, not a black zipper bag, and placing a white rose on the pillow of his bed after removing his body. This was just first class and appreciated. Thank you for your professionalism.

Jackman Hensley laid my mother to rest today. As I thought back on the day, it was exactly how she would have wanted it. Chris and the team were so helpful at every turn.

And he did, right down to helping my elderly father throughout the day. If they can make us feel this way in the middle of a snowstorm, in the middle of a pandemic, I will forever have nothing but good things to say about them. Thank you all for making the

Chris did an excellent job for my mother's service. I highly recommend them. He went the extra mile to find the right urn for my mom. He took care of everything. We did not have to worry about one thing. He kept in contact with us regarding everything.

My family just laid my uncle to rest and Chris and his crew went above and beyond to make sure his ceremony was beautiful and very fitting. From the attention to detail, to the compassion and respect they not only showed my family , but my uncle was top notch. The man who picked up my uncle and took him to the funeral home told me when he picked him up he realized he was also a marine and they played the marine hymn all the way to the funeral home They are wonderful and do the little things that seem so small, but are indeed so profound. Thank you Chris and staff our whole family was extremely
